Book Writing Help for the Weekend Warrior!
Are you only able to work on
your book part time or on weekends? Most of
us have to squeeze writing a book into small
blocks of time. Perhaps you have a full time
job or a business to tend to and can't take
off three months or more to write a book. Or
maybe you have children or aging parents to
look after. Yet, you still dream of writing
a book one day.
If any of the above applies
to you, there's good news! You don't have to
become a hermit or trade in your life anymore
to write a saleable book. You can use the cumulative
effect and still get your book written in record
time. Here are some easy tips from a fellow
weekend writer to help you in your journey.
Discover how to take the short way home to your
successful book.
1. Write a book in an
organized way. Leading experts say
we waste over 150 hours a year looking for misplaced
information. Get organized in a way that fits
you. For example, to get started you can create
a master folder with your book's title. Inside,
keep a separate file for each chapter. Assign
each chapter a short title that will make sense
later. If you don't have a title yet then assign
chapter names by topic.
Assign research notes or resources
to each chapter named folder. Make a how-to
folder as well, such as short-key notes, style
or formatting notes. With this system you can
manage multiple projects easily. Don't waste
anymore time being disorganized. Remember you
only have weekends and small blocks of time
to complete. You can do it; just get organized.
2. Write a book with
a clear thesis. Did you cringe at the
word thesis? For some, it brought back memories
of English class and writing essays. No worries,
a thesis simply reflects the main central thought
of the book. Make sure the main central thought
includes the greatest benefit of your book and
you're done.
Writing your book's thesis before
you begin will help crystallize your message.
With your book's thesis in mind, you can stay
on the path of focused, compelling yet easy
to read book. You could end up with a top selling
book written on the weekends all because your
message was tightly focused.
3. Write your book with
extreme focus. Throw away your plans
to go away for a week, a month or a year to
write your book. Weekend warriors don't have
the time to dedicate solely to their book. So,
it's a good thing you don't have to become a
hermit to write and complete a successful book
these days. You can commit to the tracking approach.
Do a set amount; even if it's only 30 minutes
to an hour each day builds a cumulative effect.
You could write 1 chapter per week and have
a short book in 7-12 weeks.
